Same problem in Lebanon with the pubs & clubs managers. Wherever you go you will find house, electro and ugly commercial house... it's a headache for me. Luckily recently one pub got Johnny (i'm sure that you heard his show Outbreak here :grinning and he plays more tranzy tracks. But zero uplifting. People here are much more tech-trance oriented. They leave the pubs & clubs when uplifting is played for too long.
yeah i don't get that mentality, people don't know what they think about trance
